Favorite Sports Moment

COVID19 - School Closure - Day 157  School Reopens - Day 58

Saw on Twitter, someone pose a question... "What is your favorite sports moment?"

Quickly flipped that question over to big bro, Gonzo and Andersen.  Some great responses....
We started with jokes
  • Jake Taylor's bunt (heh)
  • Ruben Rivera (which we saw in real life!!!) 
  • Hogan body slamming Andre
We all agreed.... too young for "The Catch."

Then Gonzo got serious... with things he saw live. 
  • Cain's Perfect Game
  • Hearst's game winning TD vs the Jets
  • Scutaro in Game 7 of 2012 NLCS
  • Lofton in Game 5 of 2002 NLCS
  • Ishikawa's walkoff in Game 6 of 2014 NLCS
  • Young's run against the Vikings (
  • Dravecky's return
  • Pablo vs Verlander in Game 1 of 2012 WS
Then we really got serious and said 2010 would be the obvious answer.... but which part?
  • Uribe's sac fly in Game 4 off Oswalt (which we were at, and NN's first Giants game?)
  • Uribe's HR off Kendrick in Game 6
  • Wilson striking out Ryan Howard?
  • "It's Gaaaallll-OOOOOOOOOOOONE" 
  • Final strikeout of Nellie Cruz
As much as I'm a Giants fan.... I'm a bigger Niner fan.  It's just.... .they haven't won one since 94.
  • Montana to Taylor in '89
  • The Catch 2 - finally beat Brett Favre (only to lose to the Falcons)
How many wide eyed, open mouthed, arms raised, @$$ clenched moments are there????  For some cities and areas.... too few, so they can name one right away.  For Bay Areans? San Franciscans....far too many to choose from.  

And then... I ended the night with.... Keri Strug stuck her landing.

#BOOM.  #USA

12 days till election.  OMG....................................
